South West Hertfordshire has always enjoyed excellent community cohesion, and I hope that the perpetrators of this senseless crime will be quickly identified. Anyone with information regarding this incident should contact the Police through the below methods👇.

I'm appalled by the Islamophobic vandalism that occurred over the weekend at Carpenders Park Lawn Cemetery. My thoughts remain with the families affected, and I will continue to be in daily contact with local police and community leaders.

I’m glad the council have now reversed their decision, but it shouldn’t have taken public backlash to support VE events. It is important that we in Hertfordshire honour those who gave us our freedom, 80 years after WWII. I look forward to joining VE commemorations on 8th May.

For 1,000 days, Ukraine has stood firm in defense of their freedom, demonstrating unmatched resilience and bravery. Continuing to stand with Ukraine is standing for democracy, security, and justice.

Great to have @KemiBadenoch join us in Chorleywood for a campaigning session with local councillors and activists ahead of the County Council elections in May. Our local volunteers and local party are essential to sharing our party’s vision for the future.

Although I’m sad to be leaving my role as Shadow Education Minister, I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved, holding this Labour Government to account for their Freedom of Speech reforms, defending SEND funding and, challenging Labour's damaging Private School tax rises.

I am delighted to have been appointed the Opposition Joint Deputy Chief Whip.
